David Bowie - Rock 'n' Roll Star! (BLURAY Mixed product)

Et bokssæt med 5CD'er og en Blu-ray disk, som indeholder 29 eksklusive, hidtil uudgivne numre

ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR! udforsker David Bowies rejse fra februar 1971 op gennem skabelsen af Ziggy Stardust-figuren, optagelsen af det ikoniske album THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS, samt den internationale mani, der omgav Ziggy-fænomenet. Det inkluderer britiske radiosessioner, tv-optrædener og live-numre fra Ziggy and the Spiders' show den 1. oktober 1972 i Boston Music Hall.

ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR! indeholder 29 uudgivne numre, såsom tidlige sangskrivningsdemoer, optagelser fra Davids band, The Arnold Corns, prøver i Bowies daværende hjem, Haddon Hall, BBC-sessions, singler, liveoptrædener, samt outtakes og alternative versioner fra de oprindelige albumindspilninger. Disse er blevet mixet på ny af den originale albumproducer, Ken Scott.

Nogle af de uudgivne højdepunkter inkluderer en alternativ version af 'Lady Stardust', en uhørt version af 'Shadow Man' og en up-tempo udgave af The Who's 'I Can't Explain', som senere blev coveret og nedtonet til PIN-UPS-albummet.

Blu-ray Audio disken indeholder den definitive remaster fra 2012 af det originale Ziggy Stardust-album i 96kHz/24bit PCM stereo, samt albummet og ekstra mixes fra 2003 i DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. Derudover indeholder den singler, outtakes og alternative versioner i 96kHz/24 bit PCM stereo.

Blu-ray'en inkluderer også en version af ZIGGY STARDUST-albummet kaldet WAITING IN THE SKY (BEFORE THE STARMAN CAME TO EARTH) fra Trident Studio-bånd dateret 15. december 1971, med en alternativ rækkefølge og fire sange, der ikke kom med på det endelige album.

ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR! inkluderer også to bøger. Den første er en omfattende bog på 112 sider med detaljerede liner notes, memorabilia, anmeldelser og artikler fra dengang, samt sjældne fotografier fra Barrie Wentzel, Michael Putland, Mick Rock, Sukita og Alec Byrne. Der er også nye noter og interviews med Ken Scott, Mark Carr Pritchett og Davids plugger fra dengang, Anya Wilson. Den anden bog er en 36-siders gengivelse af Davids personlige notesbøger fra Ziggy Stardust-tiden.
